I am developing an application that will be used in both Windows 2000 and Mac os 10. Windows/IE works fine but when I get to the Mac, I get an error in the data field stating that it is undefined. This is the code that I am using:
var ataReturn = "";

ataReturn = document.emtyFormBean.ataReturn.options.value

if(ataReturn == "")
{
alert("Please Select a ATA Chapter/Section")
}else{
opener.document.aosMaskFormBean.ata.value = ataReturn;
opener.document.aosMaskFormBean.ata_desc.value = "Updated on save";

self.close();
}
Any help as to why Netscape and Firefox both give me an undefined error message?

try this:

Code: 
var theSel = document.forms['emptyFormBean'].elements['ataReturn'];
var theVal = theSel.options[theSel.selectedIndex].value;

if ( theVal == "" ) {
   ...
} else {
   ...
}

Not getting past those definitions in the code. I put an alert just after the definitions to see where I am at but never reach them. I am getting into my function, it just doesn't like the first variable declaration. Suggestions?

Here is a majority of the code, with your suggested changes:
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
function passBackAta(row){
alert(row);
}
function takeAction()
{

var theSel = document.forms['emptyFormBean'].elements['ataReturn'];
alert("Got Here 1 " );
var theVal = theSel.options[theSel.selectedIndex].value;
alert("Got Here 2 " );

if (theVal == ""){
alert("Please Select a ATA Chapter/Section")
}else{
opener.document.aosMaskFormBean.ata.value = ataReturn;
opener.document.aosMaskFormBean.ata_desc.value = "Updated on save";

self.close();
}
}

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>ATA Code selection</H1>
<br>Please select an ATA Chapter/Section and click 'OK'</br>
<TABLE border="1" width="800" align="center">
<TBODY>
<logic:notPresent name='ataCodesDescListFormBean'>
<p>Nothing here</p>
</logic:notPresent>
<html:form action='mainFrame.do'>
<html:select name='ataCodesDescListFormBean' property='ataReturn' size='20'>
<html:eek:ptions collection='ataChapSectList' property='value' labelProperty='value_display'/>
</html:select>

<html:button property='Button' value='Submit' onclick="takeAction()" />
</html:form>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

instead of having your function call in the submit button's onclick event, have it in your form's onsubmit event, like this:

[tt]onsubmit="return takeAction();"[/tt]

On my onSubmit, I am getting the following error: JSP Translate: Attribute onSubmit invalid according to the specified TLD. Just what exactly does that mean?

My onsubmit is not executing the javascript. I have the alerts in the code but they never get hit and it hops right to the mainFrame.do. I am calling this page from another and trying to pass back a selected value back to the calling page. It totally bypasses the calling page. I'm not the greatest when it comes to Javascript.

Another thing, I am trying to pass a data value back to the calling page, but in reading about the onsubmit, it looks like it is looking for a boolean return value, not a value like "1234" for example. That's what I need to do.
